I cannot agree. Again this is the old stuff about comp vs comp, or comp vs
human. Century was made thinking in playing humans, not comps. So to be beated
by Fritz -in a short serie of games- does not say too much about the program,
specially if we are talking of this because of  judgement made by a human after
playing and losing to Century. Personally I do not give a cent for what Anand or
any GM can say about this kind of things. They are not notorious for his
objetivity. They are all the time claiming how far superior they are, how sick
they were when they lose a game againts a  program, how bad the conditions were,
how they could cut in pieces the machine if only they want to do so, etc. They
have a really big mouth and a really big ego. And maybe they also have, as Larry
said, some terrenal interest to put down a program and enhance another.
